The City of DeRidder will soon begin providing transportation for city residents with a 16 passenger bus.

Beginning Tuesday, September 4, 2012, the bus will pick up city residents and deliver them anywhere within the city limits, such as the grocery store, pharmacy, library, nursing home, etc. for a small fee to cover expenses.

The bus will run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

There are some rules to abide by in order to use the Public Transit System.

Another services the transit system provides for city residents are non-emergency medical appointments and general public transportation.

All vans are handicapped accessible and will provide Beauregard Parish residents transportation to medical appointments, daycares and jobs, including those who need to Ft. Polk.
